QML's XHR implements the good old W3C API which has support for HTTP
authentication. Just pass the username and password as parameters in
the call to send().

import QtQuick 1.0

Item
{
    width: 400
    height: 400

    MouseArea {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: {
             var doc = new XMLHttpRequest();
             doc.onreadystatechange = function() {
                 if (doc.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.HEADERS_RECEIVED) {
                     console.log("Headers:");
                     console.log(doc.getAllResponseHeaders());

                 } else if (doc.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
                     console.log("Response:");
                     console.log(doc.responseText);
                 }
             }

             doc.open("GET",
"http://koivi.com/php-http-auth/protect.php", true, "tester",
"testing");
             doc.send();
        }
    }
}
